alriiight.. wheel o' fortune: yeah youre so right man.. shoulda started workin on gettin em hardened off for awhile now.. see i thot it was gonna take like 2 weeks or so i figured i was way ahead of schedule but bah... idk, its tricky.. i got 2, and i topped them to have new growth show, which i THINK will work.. my pics im about to post arent gonna get close enough to show any of that but nonetheless i think itll work..
the 2 i have, have roots poppin outta the cylinder i think theyre good..
and ventilation you say?.. after a page or 3 long talk with Sun & co. about it, im definitely going to be ventilating for sure.. im in tight quarters in my closet (which i spent like 4 hours in setting all this sh*t up!!! ba;slkdhf;js!!!!) so ventilation will be key.. i could DEF go no more watts than 400 in there egad........ i plan on using duct booster fans for the moment til i can afford some nice inline can fans =D
Sun: --->
short story here in the middle of pics.. that lil extra rw in there, i know what youre thinking.. "wtf?".. well i had 8 altogether and only enough hydroton and pots for 7... it was a tough call b/c i still had that rooted clone that has NO leaves on it.. so it was either that lame-ass clone or a germ'ed seed not yet sprouted but planted... i decided to use the clone.. it looks like its got t-i-n-y lil leaves coming so lets hope it doesnt burn me... i think thatd be Awesome if that thing lives honestly.. but yea i still had an extra live round so i threw it in there, see what happens why not.. ill end up pitchin it but whatev
if i was a true d-i-y'er i woulda took pics the whole time i was puttin this together.. sorry guys already done :/ ... but its the 2 blue rubbermaid tubs i had one on top the other with a pump in the bottom.. i shoulda seperated the INTAKE and the..... "EXHALE/EXHAUST" of the water into the "tray" but them being so close together helps out with putting holes in the res :/ ...
also, since that tub was badnewsblues last time cuz of light penetrating.. i simply took the lil inside "floor" of the tent and used it to cover it, which should be super light tight now =D... i also had to cut a slit in that to put the fittings down to reach the rez...
hope im not completely losing you guys, im tired as shit, this took foreverrrrr
heres some pretty plant pics tho!
isnt it so cool to see your lovelies outside of their usual habitat in your bathroom or kitchen in full lighting to really get a feel for what they look like?..... (maybe its just me?)
and in her (hopefully!!) home... NOTE: dont ask where that ductworks going..
i put her in there n zipped up.. light will be here tomorrow afternoon so ill set it up then and fire it up .. thisll give her a long dark period before 12/12 begins
just changed the rez for new nutes as well.. changed the lineup (yeah a lil risky, she may stunt for a min but its cool, i wanted to get away from AN) from advanced to botanicare.
the botanicare RIPE doesnt call for any Grow nutes mixed with it for the first week of flowering, so i went with that.. i figured the more i didnt have to MIX AN and botanicare the better aye?...
so i got RIPE, SWEET (citrus), and BLAST OFF (i think?..)... mixed to a 900ppm.. figured id lower it a lil since it WAS at 1150-1200... with the new nutes and all its probably for the better..
well if THAT didnt put you guys to sleep then youre troopers (or havent hit that doobie yet =D)... ill def be posting pics with new light tomorrow so until then
